| Well he can kiss goodbye to his career. Very offensive, not at all racist, but offensive. |

| WOW, After actully seeing the video it kinda makes me sick. WTF was this dumb-ass thinking. I've lost all respect for this douche bag. I don't doubt the heckler was being a dick, but talk about taking it to the next level. He better hope this doesn't become too big of a story, otherwise I would expect his life to be in danger. |

For once I'd like to see one of these people say
"So what, I'm a racist!"
rather than....
"Nothing more than ramblings of a old drunkard"

I don't think it was really that bad, although I could be wrong. The people in the audience start crying since "the n word" is one of those words only certain people can use. They start saying it was "uncalled for" yeah well, comics make fun of people. Why is it that people get all upset about him using this word? He was on stage, people were heckling and he heckled back. That's what stand up comics do....
If Chris Rock started calling people Cracker then everyone would laugh. "Look at that Cracker ass. Cracker cracker cracker. Cracker-- we've got a cracker here." I'm fairly sure I've heard him actually say this. Ha ha, it's funny... at least people are laughing. But here with Richards the audience starts crying. They need to grow up. |

Have you actually seen the video?? I think it's worse than it sounds in text. He wasn't try to funny, he was pissed. |

Yes I watched the video. I don't know, people loose it like that all the time and people laugh about it. Considering his character was always a spastic nutcase I don't think it is that large of a leap for him to scream in that way. It doesn't matter how he said it, the people started crying once they heard the word that he is not allowed to say. |

| Well coming from a guy who's not easily offended, and is aware of the name calling double standard... I still was offended by it. No artistic merit IMO. |

| No, it keeps on bringing up a pop up, which it in turn blocks. IE allows it to work fine, sad as it is. |

It's a crappy video - the quality is very poor. Was it from a camera phone I wonder?
Regardless... I never did like that guy. Now I like him even less. |

Why does it offend you? He wasn't calling you any names. He was calling some hecklers names. Why does it offend you when you acknowledge that others doing the same to different people does not?
I don't believe I have ever uttered the words "I am offended". |

I just watched the video.
That wasn't bad at all. I agree completely with John Galt. The two people who interrupted him were rude to begin with, and than they whine that it was uncalled for. Yet, simultaneously, they are calling Richards a cracker. I love double standards. |
